The only bar on the beach. Drink some cold beer and eat the pizza or burger. Don’t forget to put some quarters in the jukebox and play some tunes! Remember you are on beach time here— run by locals who are not in a hurry.

Walking distance from Pirates Bay. A local favorite that can often fill with smoke, so might not be the best for kids (although they do promote a putt putt course out front). 😆 Good burgers and fried fish washed down with cold beer and cocktails.
